Rodgers first hit this milestone with the Packers in 2011. Brees and Manning did it in 2013. Now, Young joins them with his strong start to 2026. This shows his rapid development at the professional level.
This is a big step for Young, the No. 1 pick in the 2023 NFL Draft. As a former Alabama star, he’s been under pressure to prove himself as Carolina’s franchise quarterback. His early success is a good sign for the Panthers. It gives the fan base hope.
Young’s steady passing has given Carolina hope this season. Matching a stat with Rodgers, Brees, and Manning is impressive. Even so, it doesn’t guarantee Young will follow their career paths. The coaching staff has praised his poise under pressure.
For the Panthers, the next step is turning Young’s strong play into steady team success. If he keeps it up, Carolina could build a stronger foundation for the future. They could possibly return to playoff contention soon.
Young still has more to prove, but this milestone gives Panthers fans another reason to feel good about his progress.
